Thanks. I have people in my life who share my values, but not necessarily my views or opinions, which they find controversial or incorrect (to one degree or another). It is the case that I have a few friends who have accepted that I did not take any of these shots, even though they believe in the shots and being boosted and have no clue of the massive deaths and injuries which they continue to think are rare. They are not open to information..... they don't want to change their minds and so we talk about other things. We have a history of shared experiences and we help one another (drop off food when people are sick, give rides when the car is in the shop) and mutual interests in several non-controversial topics. They all have TDS though. If I may make an analogy, it's a bit like if your spouse of many years had a sudden stroke and their personality changed in frightening ways (not the same person in some ways) -- but yet, they are still that person and still your spouse. Your relationship changes, and it's sad and you grieve, but they are still a part of your life and you do not abandon them and you try to connect in the ways that you still can.

I am hopeful that I will meet some locals soon who are unvaxxed conspiracy theorists because we will have so much to talk about. I hear that 95% are jabbed here, but that still leaves 5% open to possibility.
